The general state of health care in Burma is poor. The military government spends anywhere from 0.5% to 3% of the country's GDP on health care, consistently ranking among the lowest in the world.
In terms of alcohol, many Burmese drink strong local moonshine-like drinks made from sugar cane. Myanmar Beer, Mandalay beer, Thai-produced Singha beer, Singapore-produced Tiger beer, cheap local beers, and cheap beers brought in from China are popular in Myanmar. Imported wines, whiskies, beers are expensive.
